The apostate Times is reduced to a pitiable condition. An occasional burst of the rabid fierceness which characterised our Contemporary's denunciations of the House of Lords in 1831, is now and again per ceptible ; but the prevailing tone is despondency, and the hoarse ravings of an impotent implacable hate, directed with a death-preceding energy against DA NIEL O'CONNELL. For the last four months the burden of our Contemporary's daily address to the people of England has been :—Will you bend your necks to a yoke imposed by an Irish—a Popish Men dicant ? Will you allow yourselves to be made the tools of the dastardly and perfidious minions of this political Bobadil ? Will you submit to the state of worse than slavery which he is preparing for you ? Know you not that this monster and his accomplices, the Members of the present Government, would im molate you on the altar of his accursed creed, to sate the cravings of an insatiable ambition ? Are you yet insensible ? Your KING is a captive ! Your Church —your holy religion is on the brink of sure destruction, unless you arise in your strength, and smite this Irish Idolator to the earth. Your Government is in a state of abject thraldom from which alone you can deliver it, by wresting power out of the feeble hands of the Whigs, and depositing it in the holy keeping of PEEL, WELLINGTON, and LYNDHURST ! Remember that your cause is the cause of the whole world ; that the rights for which you are to contend include the bless ings of this world, and the eternal happiness of the next. Think of old father DENS—think of the hor 7 rors of the confessional—think of your wives, your daughters, your sisters, your maiderj aunts, your grandmothers, kneeling at the feet of brisk well-fed con fessors of five-and-twenty—and tremble for the fate of the British Constitution Our readers may smile, and they will not do so without cause ; but they need only refer to a file of the Times, for the period we have just mentioned, to be convinced that we have neither mis-stated the general arguments, nor misrepresented the manner of our unprincipled Contemporary. How different from this was the language of the Tory Press at the open ing of the last Session of Parliament ! Then PEEL was in the ascendant. The poor contemptible Whigs were nothing ; arid as to O'CONNELL, the Times declared that he was immeasurably beneath the regard of respectabl e public Journalists. In the first transports of their joy, the Conservatives were even disposed to extend the hand of reconciliation to Lords MELBOURNE and JOHN RUSSELL, on the easy condition (so the Times was pleased to term it) of uniting the: in a league offensive and defensive with PEEL 1111 CI WELLINGTON against DANIEL O'CONNELL, J-CSEPII HUME, and the whole of the Radical party in and out of Parliament. This scheme of coalition the Times waS wont, in those the halcyon days of its apostacv, to speak of with wonderful com placency. That most virtuous and consistent cham pion of Toryism, appeared incapable of conTrehending how any public man could sacrifice the chance of Court favour to the integrity of his political principles. Like the Fox in iEsop, haranguing against tails, the Times affected to laugh at the importance attached to what it had not the virtue to preserve. But the Whig leaders were not to be cajoled by the affected modera tion of political apostates ; and the consequence was, that, aided by the Radicals, they taught a salutary les son to an illustrious Personage, who, perhaps forgetful of what he owed to the country, had lent too willing an ear to the suggestions of individuals in whose mouths the word " party" should have no meaning. Far be it from us to insinuate that that illustrious Per sonage should be restricted in the choice of those individuals whom he may. judge it pro per to honour with his private confidence ; but after making the amplest allowance for the excessive influence which women and prieGts must acquire over a mind, naturally none of the strongest, and not ren dered firmer by the weight of years—WC cannot re member with unconcern, nor regard with indifference the adoption of counsels, which, but for the firmness of the people, had endangered the most sacred rights of the British people. The country has not forgotten the gathering call ad dressed by the Times to the " high-born, but low minded ,fools," (we quote the words of our Contem porary), who form the strength of Sir Ronlityr PEEL's party in the House of Commons. That call, it will be remembered, summoned from their " haunts of pro fligacy and criminal indulgences," a pack of " con , temptible pretenders," (we again quote the Times) —" burdens instead of supports to the public cause— betrayers of lira Church, the Crown, and the Constitu tion—blots and plague spots upon the Aristocracy, to which they boast of appertaining"—to rally round and defeild the cause of PEEL and Toryism ! Thank Heaven, in having recourse to a similar measure—in summoning the Liberals to unite heart and hand in de feating the common enemy—we require not to frame an address capable of stimulating to honorable exertion the inmates of such murky haunts of titled profligacy. We have only to call upon men who have nobly redeemed their pledges to their country; during the last Session of Par liament, to persevere in the righteous course in which they have set out—to merge individual differences on all minor questions, with a view to prevent any under hand dealings on the part of the Tories—to dismiss the absurd and ridiculous idea of claiming a freedom from the influence of party, from a foolish apprehen sion of being regarded by the country as the satellite of a brighter political luminary—and on no plea what soever to absent themselves from their seats in the House during its important sittings. It is but justice to the Radical Members of the House of Commons to say, that they are much more diligent and attentive, to their duties in Parliament than either the Whigs or the Tories. To prove this, a reference to the vote-book of the House of Commons is necessary ; and here we are assisted by a little volume compiled from Parlia mentary documents, and published by EFFINGHAM WILSON, for the express purpose of apprising the elec tors of the manner in which their representatives voted upon all questions upon which the House divided du ring the last session of Parliament. The highest and the lowest names in this list run thus : Votes. Votes. Thomas Attwood 3llHon. Lieut.-Colonel Knox... 3 J. S. Buckingham Daniel O'Connell 33 Sir W. W.

Warburton 45 Matthias Attwood Thomas Wakley .sl'Sir R. Peel lO The above is no indifferent guarantee for the future exertions of the Liberal party. We confess, however, that many Members of the House of Commons, who were more than usually prodigal of professions in favor of Reform upon the hustings, have not realized the hopes which such professions tended to cherish ; and that,a few of them have actually deserted to the Tory ranks. But the main body, under the sagacious guid ance of Lord JOHN RUSSELL, have remained firm, and were never absent when the country stood in need of their services. We know that our enemies are on the alert to sow dissensions among the Reformers—to excite jealousies of the influence presumed to be exercised over the Go vernment by DANIEL O'CONNELL—to awaken sus picions of the stability of the Administration—and, like the Fox in the fable, when wheedling the crow out of the enviable possession of the piece of meat, to em ploy every artifice, however dishonest, to break up the Cabinet. Already do we find them at their dirty work. They affect to lament the want of judicious ar rangement in the marshalling of the Whig forces. They condolingly whisper to those in the rear, that their proper and legitimate place is in the van ; and those who have yet to learn how to draw a ramrod, are told that their place is among the veteran sharp-shooters. By such machinations as these, the Tories hope to divide the Reform interest, and so prevent the carrying of those measures for reforming the Irish Church, im proving the Irish Municipalities, amending the laws, and extending the blessings of education among the bulk of the people, which have received the sanction of the MELBOURNE Cabinet. But the cause of jus tice and the people will again triumph. Well may the Tories be in agony—every hour increases the dis tinctness' of their prospects—they are on the eve of po litical extinction—and to increase their torture, they begin to perceive that the fate which awaits them is inevitable. Their last stake is down ; for the Mu nicipal Reform Bill has for ever cut off the chances of another appeal to the people. The Paris Papers of Thursday, which, owing to the stormy state of the weather, were only received last night, are still occupied with discussions relative to the Five per Cents. They bring accounts from Bayonne and Barcelona to the 20th and 25th ult., but the statements contained in them are evidently the fabrication of Carlist agents. According to them the Christinos were driven back upon Vittoria in the en gage►nent of the 17th, and that their loss on both days _ _ amounted to one thousand men killed and wounded. They further state that Don CA RLos was preparing to recommence the bombardment of St. Sebastian on the 23d ; and had issued a decree ordering a fresh levy of 15,000 men in the provinces of Biscay, Gui puzcoa, and Alava, who were to be prepared to take the field on the Ist of March. It was not denied that his troops were suffering from want of food, clothes, and other necessaries. In fact the Carlists are repre sented as in a most pitiable plight, and as only sup ported through all their miseries by an enthusiastic attachment to the cause which they have espoused. The besieged in Guetaria were unexpectedly suc coured, on the night of the 7th ult., by a force con sisting of eight hundred well-disciplined troops, and a large supply of provisions. This greatly disheartened the Carlists, who had made sure of the capture of this fortress. The following account of the recent move ments of the Christinos and Carlists in the North is from a correspondent of the Indicateur de Bor deaux : " ST. JEAN DE Luz, JAN. 23.—The attempts made by the Carlists on the 17th to dislodge General Cordova's brigade from its position at Alaban were renewed on the 18th without success. On the 19th the two armies were in presence of each other. G enera l Cordova's artillery was placed at Venta Meha, a building contiguous to the position of the rebels. On the 20th three hundred wounded Carlists were brought into Ber gara, and among them two superior officers. From this point to Iron there are no more rebels remaining, except those who Are before St. Sebastian, all the bands having been called to the ‘ll - ‘7, 4 - quarters o f G enera l E gu i a, t 9 defend the different defiles leading' into the p rov i nce of G u i p „ coa. 11th Colonel Nollier attaclzfl, at Pradeconte, in Lower Aragon, the bandit chief Torner, who hold some very strong positions, but from which he was driven with great loss. Pradeconte has for a long time been the receptacle of th e rap i ne of the Car lists: Colonel Nollier, having nivain called upon t h e inhabi tants to furnish him with provisions for hi s men, caused a general search to be made, and there discovered a great quan.

Zhe Colonel has been so exasperated with the conduct of the out-posts ; liat he ordered the whole village to be burnt, except the church. The sick being withdrawn, this measure was put in execution. Many concealed Carlists, found in the houses, were brouE , ,ht out and shot. According to a report from the Captain-General of Aragon, about 9 90 more rebels have come in, and claimed the benefit of the. amnesty ; and Brigadier Nogeras announces from . Alcoriza, on the 15th, that the insur gents were reduced to a few small bands. • A new amnesty has been proclaimed. On the 19th a convoy left Saragossa for Logrono, escorted by a battalion of the Foreign Legion, which was gOing tolbin the main body at Vittoria." FUNDS.—PARIS, JANUARY e 23.

" There has lately been a dinner at Belfast, at which that prince of mountebanks, Emmurson Tennent, was present. He wears a big, remarkable ss ig, of which I should like to get an attested copy, for I believe it to be worth more than all his political exertions.' ( Vide O'Connell's speech to the Dublin Trades' Union. ) Haste, oh haste„ye Muses nine From Parnassian realms divine ; One and all on favouring wing, - Haste, and aid me while I sing, With Pindaric phrenzy Belfast Tennent's Orange wig ! Tis the wig of wigs, well fitted To be lauded, and be-dittied, For it kindly covers o'er Longer ears than Midas wore ; And like the good old cap and bells, Of which the nursery legend tells, Supplies by its eccentric fit, Its lucky owner's want of wit. Yes, 'tis this that gives him sense, And rounds his Orange eloquence ; Scriptural annalists declare Sampson's might was in his hair ; But thine—altho' tis infra dig— Thine, My Tennent's, in thy wig : For what were all thy jokes and sneers, All thy stunning party cheers, Without that wig to point them duly, And make thine hearers all,—unruly, Despite the murmurs of the Chair— Shout—laugh—cheer—wonder—gape, and stare? Swift has told us, years ago, 'Tis not feeling's generous glow, (Deny his axiom who can,) But the dress that makes the man ; So, in Tennent's case, remember, Tis the wig that makes the Member : Jove-like, when he bids it shake, All the Belfast Papists quake, And fain would lay a heavy tax on The voice that speaks in such a caxon ; E'en O'Connell and his Tail, When they hear it storm and rail, Start, and feel their courage fail ; So, of old, the eagle tribe, As £sop tells us, pleasant scribe, Were panic-struck by the abuse Of a green, dogmatic goose ! Lucky Tories, who possess In this, your season of distress, Allies with such vast influence big, As Sibtborp's whiskers—Tennent's wig ! This, by love's sweet spell, enthralls The female world of Liberals ; That, by sterner power, prevails O'er the same wide world of males, While both—for which you should adore them.- Bid fair to carry all before them ! I DEVIZES.-FRIDAY. One of the representatives for this borough, Admiral Sir Philip Durham, has received the appointment of Port-Admi ral at Portsmouth, and, in consequence has announced to his constituents his intention to resign his seat immediately on the meeting of Parliament. Captain J. W. D. Dundas, R.N., of Barton Court, near Hungerford, who contested the borough at the last elec tion, with Mr. Estcourt, (a Tory,) and lost his election by 12 votes only, owing to Mr. Estcourt's personal influence in the town, and his being in the field first—received a few weeks since a requisition to come forward on the first vacancy, from a majority of the electors. He has obeyed this requisition by presenting himself to the electors this morning, and immediately made a canvass of the borough. We are happy to say that he has received the decided pro mises of a large majority of the whole of the electors, and his return is perfectly sure, even if opposed by the richest Tory in the kingdom. We may therefore congratulate the electors of Devizes upon getting so decided a Reformer, and so sterling a man, for the successor of Sir P. Durham. THE FUNDS-(THIS DAY). CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

It has the following remarks :—" The actual condition of our markets at this moment would be very difficult to describe, and would occupy a large space. Persons at a distance, totally unacquainted with its character, might be led to suppose— judging from the excessively high price of a great many arti cles here—that the market was quite lively, when, in fact, it is rather in a drooping state. Western produce, which con tributes so largely to render it active, is arriving but sparingly —the receipts generally not being more than sufficient for home demand. This state of things cannot continue a great while; but we do not expect to see an immediate change, as our last accounts from the Upper Country represent both the Ohio and Mississippi as not being in a condition to let out the needed supplies. On Sunday evening last we had some rain, but Monday ushered in fair weather, which lasted up to yes terday, when it was again overcast and wet. The Mississippi continuedto recede, being now six feet eight inches below high water mark. After a lapse of more than five weeks, during which, and particularly the latter part of that time, the Cot ton market has remained in a most deplorable dull condition ; but operations on Wednesday last were at length resumed ; since that a heavy business has been going forward, but at a re duction of from IA- to 2 Cents. on prices given ten or twelve days back ; while tine Cottons, on account of their great scar city, have not fallen near so much." THE FUNDS. The non-arrival of the express from Paris to the present time, causes a general stagnation in the operations of both the British and Foreign Markets. Consols opened this morning at the prices they left off on Saturday, 91i s for the Account, and 91 toy for Money ; Exchequer Bills, 20 22 ; India Bonds, 4 6 ; Bank Stock, 254 255. In the Foreign Market, Spanish Active Bonds are not so good as they were on Saturday, and have receded from 49-i to 481 49 ; Portuguese, 831- 84 ; Three per Cents., 533- 54 ; Columbian, 331; Mexican, 37. 38; Dutch Two and a halt per Cents., 55k H ; Five per Cents., 1034 4. All the endeavours t o t race out he Stock-jobber who has absconded with a large sum from the parties in the Stock Ex change, has proved ineffectual at present ; and in consequence of which a larger reward is about to be offered. It is believed that ere this he has safely landed on some part of the Continent HALF-PAST ONE. We are still without the arrival of the French Mails, in con sequence of which little or nothing is doing in the Funds. The general topic of conversation entirely relates to the person who has absconded with the money from the Foreign Market, and we now find that a reward of a thousand pounds has been offered for his apprehension. Various reports are in circulation ; by some it is stated that he has been traced to Northfleet, since which he has again returned to London. Another account says that his Solicitor has sent to Mr. Wheeler to have an interview with him this evening ; but at present these reports are only on d;t. Consols are not so good as in the morning, and may be quoted 91k for the Account, and 90,+ 91 for Money ; Exche quer Bills, 20 22 ; India Bonds, 4 6 Bank Stock, 2151 ; Spanish Active, 49 ; Portuguese, 83A- ; Three per cents 531 ; Columbian, 334 ; Mexican, 371.

Mr. Frederick Villiers, the candidate for Canterbury• has been invited again to offer himself for that city in the event of a vacancy or a general election, and there is not the slightest douLt of his success. The Municipal Reform Act has nearly doubled the Liberal interest in Canterbury. We are happy to have it in our power to say that not a doubt remains of the success of Sir Charles Style, whenever a vacancy occurs in the borough of Scarborough. The Reformers there are now united. They returned 17 out of 18 Town Councillors, and will no doubt be able to place the man of their choice, the worthy Baronet, at the hee.d of the poll. The Marquis de Mirabeau is related to have said of himself, " I am thought to be in a passion when I am only in a pet." With how many irritable people is this the case? and how many private quarrels might be avoided, would mankind look more charitably on each other's infir mities. LIVERPOOL COTTON-MARKET, JAN. 29.

SlR,—Observing in your Paper of the 25th instant, " The Rallying Call" of the expiring faction, miscalled " Conserva tive," which " call " is properly answered by you in every con secutive stanza, by setting forth in popular metre the real character of the sentiments therein embodied—it struck me that our cause being based on meritorious grounds would fur nish alone the spirit by which such productions can awaken a feeling of patriotism in the breasts of the real Couserratives of our country ; and, however inadequate to the task, I was un willing to retire this evening to my rest before I had attempted something like an answer to the " Rallying Call " of the Times. If it is worthy, please insert it. THE REFORMERS' RALLYING CALL. For Freedom strike—for Freedom strike But not with vengeful hand, Our country as our cause, alike Our equal care demand. We wield no sword, nor hostile spear, Yet will we never bow to fear. For Freedom strike—from whence the blow That victory will bring ? Union of strength shall scout the foe— For on its ample wing This message it cloth far convey, Union alone will win the day ! Then strike for Freedom—for Reform ! But oh that fearful sound Fills Carlton's despots with alarm— For we've the 'vantage ground. And Tories know too well our hour Of triumph was their last of power. Strike then for Freedom—be our brand Fraternity alone; Joined in one compact—hand in hand, Be this our rallying tone-- Our King—our Country, and her laws— May Heaven's protection shield our cause. Spalding, Jan. 26. J. G. W. Sir James Graham and General Sir Robert Mac farlane are executors of the late Sir Colquhoun Grant. The will has been proved, and all the property, landed and personal, with the house in Grosvenor-square, have been left to Mr. and Mrs. Brinsley Sheridan. BRIGIITON.—A shocking instance of self-destruc tion occurred here on Friday night. Mr. Wm. Hodson, jun., miller, who has lately led a very dissipated life, went home last night in a state of intoxication, took a loaded gun into his bed room, and placing the muzzle in his mouth, discharged the piece and produced instantaneous death. His head was dreadfully shattered. QUICK WORK.—The North Devon Journal con tains the following announcement among its marriages "At Southmolton, on Monday last, by the Rev. I'. H.

A bronze statue is about to be erected at Manchester to the late Duke of Bridgewater, as a memorial of the ad vantages the town has derived from his Grace's public spirit, and especially from the canal which bears his name. The expenses of the statue were intended to be defrayed by the townspeople in general, but Lord F. Egerton has come forward and declared his intention of defraying the whole himself. The Duke of Wellington has returned to Strath fieldsave, and will remain until Wednesday next. His Grace has recently adopted the late Earl of Burlington's plan for warming Strathfieldsaye by steam ; numerous workmen were some time employed in laying down iron pipes and erecting stoves. AGRICULTURAL DISTRESS.--COUNTY MEET ING IN WEST NORFOLK.—Tuesday last, in pursuance of a requisition to the High Sheriff of Norfolk, a public meeting o f the o wners and occupiers of land in the Western Division of this county was held at the Town Hall, Lynn, " for the purpose of taking into consideration the propriety of peti tioning Parliament to grant a Committee to inquire into. the Distresses of Agriculture." After a stormy discussion, in which Dean Wood ran counter to the aristocracy of the county, a petition to Parliament was adopted. We regret to learn from Brighton that the attiable Duchesse di Cannizaro has been suffering from the effects of an a ccidental blow received at a crowded ball from some person who was waltzing ; her Grace is, however, much better.

KAY P. MARSHALL. His LORDSHIP gave judgment this morning in this case, which was argued some few days ago. The question related to a patent obtained by the plaintiff for a new mode of spin ning flax. The defendants had infringed that patent, and the plaintiff therefore tiled his bill to restrain them from doing so. To that bill the defendants put in a demurrer, which was argued before his Honour the Vice-Chancellor, who directed the plaintiff to bring his action to try the validity of his patent. From that decision the plaintiff appealed to the Lord Chan cellor. His Lordship this morning gave judgment, overruling the demurrer. TAYLOR V. W-A1T.p.,4 The LORD CuANcELLoa also n . ave judgment in this case, which related t o di s p u t es w ith reference' to the Opera House. The facts are all well known, the case having been so re peatedly before the public.. his Lordship affirmed the deci sion of the Vice- Chancellor, and directed an inquiry of what was due to Ml. Waters. ELLIS V. THE ATTONEY-GENERAL. The testator in this case, after giving certain legacies to his different friends and relations, gave the rest of his property to 'trustees, to be applied to such charitable or other purposes as they or their survivors, executors, or administrators might think tit, without being accountable to any person for the dis position thereof. On the case being argued, the trustees contended that the gift was an absolute gift to them, and that even if the Court considered it not a charitable gift, its nature was sufficiently pointed out for the Court to execute it. His LORDSHIP this morning gave judgment, declaring the gift not to be an absolute one to the Trustees, and that it was so uncertain, that the Court would not execute it. This judg ment confirms the order made by his Honour the Vice- Chancellor. His Lonnstric then proceeded to hear motions. The MASTER of the ROLLS and the VICE-CIIANCELLOR this being the last day of Term, were occupied the whole o' the morning with motions of no public interest. The MASTER of the ROLLS will sit at the Rolls' Court Chancery-lane, to morrow, and, after swearing in the solici. tors, will proceed to hear petitions. KING'S BEN - CH.-(THIS DAY.) This being the last day of Term, the Court went through the Bar, commencing with the junior counsel, of whom there were very few in attendance. TIIE KING V. THE BISHOP OF WINCHESTER.-THE REV. DR. FREES CASE, Lord DENMAN said, in compliance with the promise he had made in this case, he had looked over all the papers and sta tutes connected with it. It was an application for a mandamus directed to the Bishop of Winchester, commanding him to hear the appeal of the Rev. Dr. Free, to restore him to his rank as a Fellow of the College of St. John's, Oxford, and also that the Bishop should visit the College. Two former applications had been made to this Court, both of which had been dismissed ; and it was not now necessary to refer to them further than as regarded one or two facts which appeared upon the affidavits before the Court. In the first place, there was no power to compel a visitor to visit, except in the case of a Member of the College, and in a case touching his interests. Dr. Free claims to be a Fellow, although he had accepted a college living in 1808, of which he had afterwards been de prived by the sentence of the Court in the year 1830. He contends, that having been so deprived of his living, he is still a Fellow of the College. The answer to this is, that having accepted the living, he ceased to be a Fellow, and, that his being afterwards deprived of that living, did not restore him to his Fellowship. After having attentively considered the several sections of the Statute, the Court was clearly of opinion, notwithstanding the very ingenious arguments drawn from particular portions of it, that the accepting of a living deprived Dr. Free of his Fel lowship. The words " perpetuis socius" had been strongly relied upon, but the Statute was clear and distinct upon the stipulation that the parties shall not give their Fellowships for hire or reward, and it was, therefore, quite clear in the opinion of the Court, that there was no ground for the present appli cation, and the Rule for the mandamus must be discharged. Doctor Free wished to call the attention of their Lordships to the Statute of Elizabeth, and was proceeding to address the Court, when Lord DENMAN observed, that after the Court had delivered its judgment, it was not usual for any party to address it. Dr. Free then retired. BOROUGH OF CARNARVON. Lord DENMAN—In this case a rule had been obtained for an information in the nature of a quo warranto, calling upon the two defendants to show by what authority they exercised the office of Aldermen of the borough of Carnarvon. It ap peared that only two Aldermen had been elected, although the Act required that six should be elected ; and it was con tended by Sir W. Follett that the election must go for no thing, on account of this irregularity, and also on the ground that the election did not take place on the day required by the Act. Without giving any opinion upon the matter, the Court thought there was so much in that argument, that it was fit it should be put into a course of further enquiry, as the point was quite a new one.—Judgment deferred. THE KING V. \VM. FRIPP, ESQ.—BOROUGH OF BRISTOL. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL moved for a rule to show cause why an information, in the-nature of a quo warranto, should not be directed to the defendant in this case, calling upon him to show by what authority he filled the offices of Mayor and Al derman of the city of Bristol. The ground upon which the application was made, was that Mr. Fripp IN as not duly qua lified to be Alderman or Mayor, because he was not duly qua lified as a Town Councillor. By the 28th section of the new Municipal Act it was provided that no person should be qua lified to be elected as Councillor or Alderman for a bo rough, who shall not be entitled to be on the list of bur gesses of such borough. The 29th section made a distinction between persons entitled to be on a burgess list, and persons enrolled on the burgess list. It was for the Court to say whether if a person be elected an Alderman or Councillor he is duly entitled to be on the burgess list. Mr. Fripp was on the burgess list, but he (the Attorney-General) contended that he ought not to be on it, because he was not qualified to be a Councillor, within the meaning of the 9th section, which restricts the qualification to occupiers of houses, &c., and who are rated as such within the borough. Mr. Fripp lived seven miles from the borough. He was a shareholder of a joint stock company, called the Bristol Life Insurance Officio, which company occupied premises in the city, which ware regularly rated, but Mr. Fripp's name did not appear upon the rate, nor did that of any other shareholder. Ilia (the Attorney-Gene ral's) objection was, first, that the defendant could not be con sidered an occupier ; and, secondly, that he could not be con sidered as rated; and, thirdly, lie would contend that, accord ing, to the Act, no person could be considered as rated whose name did not appear on the rate. On these grounds he submitted that Mr. Fripp was not qualified to be elected a Town-Councillor, not being entitled to be on the - burgess list. Cow - a —You — may take a rule. TIE KING V. DUNCONIBE. The defendant in this case had been convicted, at the pro. secution of the Society for the Suppresson of Vice, of the ex posing for sale obscene publications. Mr. MESSMER now prayed the judgment of the Court on the defendant. An affidavit was put in by the defendant, praying for al arrest of judgment, on the ground of surprise, &c., and The COURT ordered the case to stand over till next term. DOE DEM. TATHAM U. WRIGHT. The COURT gave judgment at great length in this case, which turned upon the validity of a will. Tho case has ex cited considerable interest from the large amount of property involved, and a new trial having been moved for, on the ground of the rejection, at the former trial, of certain letters which, it was contended, would have satisfied the Jury of the imbe cility of mind of the testator. Lord Denman said the opinion of himself, and his Learned Brothers Littledale and Cole ridge, was, that these letters were not admissible. The other two Judges had given no opinion, having been engaged in tha case in its early stages. Following up the principles which always regulated the proceedings of that Court, where a losing party had tendered evidence which had been rejected at the trial, and which the Court had subsequently decided to be in admissible, they were of opinion that there ought to bo new trial. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. THIS DAY. OLD COURT. The Session of the above Court for February was opened this morning before the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor, Alder. man Kelly, and Sir C. Marshall, the Recorder, Sheriffs, and other City Officers. The G - rand Jury having been sworn in, were addressed by The RECORDER—Iie said, though only three weeks had elapsed since the last Session was held, he was sorry that the calendar, which lay before him, presented so serious a catalogue of offences. It was the heaviest one, considering the nature of the crimes, that had beer, presented to a Grand Jury since the institution of the Central Criminal Court. He then alluded to the often-expressed opinions as to the necessity for another Court for the trial of juvenile offenders. He would not—it would not become him, in his situation, to give any opinion upon a question of so much importance as it was, and especially as it was likely to engage the attention of the Legislature in the ensuing Session. - He would, however, say thus much, that whatever was decided upon, that Body who had made so many sacrifices for the establishment of that Court, the Corporation of London, would still be found most ready to do all in their power towards carrying a good plan into full operation. In the calendar, he was most sorry to say, there was one direct charge of murder, and one of manslaughter, which was di vided by so very nice a distinction, as to make it a difficult matter to di3tinguish it from the higher and more grave charge. There were also three capital charges of asaon, which would require their particular attention. The Learned Gentleman recapitulated these cases, and advised the Jury to send all cases upon which there was the least doubt, ex), to a further enquiry. There were other 44fige's of a a serious nature, but they did not rectig i ro particular attention, though they must necessastly taLe np much of the valuable time of the G.r4a iuq. After explaining the laws relative tq perjury and receiving of stolen goods, he dismissed assuring them of the best a tt ent i on of the c 4 , - ,urt, when any case of difficulty was brought before;Jury, The COURT was ocr; , ,;p;ed the: Whole . of the latter pall in ehiiing over the names' of the jurig T•44o 49 ned • f t prni morning i d r ff£ different over counties. t 4e high wind on Saturday last, tare of the sPh7es of the steepl e of the ancient church of St. John, in NqWC4o l e % vv4s partially blown down.

On Saturday evening (being the 30th of Janua., y ) , instead of the usual e n t er t a i nments of the theatre, there 'gas aSacred and Miscell aneous per f ormance of Music," the style of the " Oratorios," w hi c h i t h as so long been the custom to give during the ti me o f L ent. Th e f i rst par:6 consisted of portions. of Hadyn's " Creati on an d S easons, " and of Handel's Israel in Egypt," with M art i n Luther's I:.(yrnn, sung by B ra h am. The second part consisted o f a se l ect i on from " The Messiah ;' and the third part was composedo a variety of p opu l ar songs, bal ladsd pieces of instrume'Atal music. During the first and second'parts, the stage, 'With the orchestra erected upon it, was so fitted up as to give a. representati on of the interior of York Cathedral on the oce4sion of the late festival. The effect was excellent. Among the principal singers were Mr. Brehm Madame Stockhausen, Miss Shim reff, Mr. Philli?s, Miss Healer' Mr. Giubilei, and Mr. Hawkins. Mr. T. Cooke was the conductor. The house was crowded in every part, and OD audience appeared to enjoy greatly tht performances of the evening. CO VENT- GARDEN. " The Messiah," restored pretty much to its original entirety as an Oratorio, and without the incongruous mixture of other music in the course of its performance, was represented on Sa turday night ; and in credit to the musical taste of the town , we are happy to say that it attracted a good audience. The principal singers were Mr. Hobbs of the Ancient Concert* Mr. Machin, Mr. Manvers, Madame Caradori, Mrs. Alfred. Shaw (formerly Miss Postans), Mrs. Geesin, and Miss Turpin; but the inferior accessories were very numerous and excellent, and we have seldom heard the chorusses " He is the King Uf Glory," " Hallelujah," " Thanks be to God," and indeed all the music arranged for many voices, better executed. The performance was divided into three parts ; betv,een the first and second, Lindley, Dragonetti and Philli.ps, int ro duced Corelli's t r i o f or two violoncelli and a bas- and erformed that delightf u l p i ece of music so absolutey well, that it wa il instantly encored. Between the second and third parts, , Ma dame Bonni az , f rom the Conservatoire Royal, at Paris, played a fantasia on the piano -forte, as improved by Erard. The Duke of Wellington returned to Apsley-house on Frid a y. Sir James and Lady Graham and family have ar rived in Grosvenor-place from their seat, Netherby-hall, Cumberland, for the season. The Marquis of Wellesley is seduously engaged in preparing for publication all the original documents and dispatches written by the Noble Marquis from his entrance into public life until his retirement from the high o ffi ce of Lord Lieutenant of Ireland. A Life of Sir Robert Peel, father of the present Baronet, and founder of the family, is, we understand, pre paring by a man of science, long acquainted with the late Baronet. The Life is patronised by the son, to whom it will be dedicated. The Marquis of Chandos has gained an accession of wealth, to the amount of one hundred and fifty thousand pounds, by the result of the Breadalbane cause in Scot land, to the great joy of many of his Lordship's friends in England. Lord John Russell has been seriously affected With a severe cold, which afterwards assumed the character of scarlatina. His Lordshir,, we understand, is much better ; and very little doubt is entertained that he will occupy his place in the House of Commons the day Parliament Assembles. The new house in Carlton-gardens, assigned for the present as the residence of the Speaker of the House of Commons, is less capacious, but more pleasantly situated, than the mansion in the same quarter, which was occupied by the Right Hon. Gentleman last year. The Speaker is expected to remain in his present residence until the pro jected Houses of Parliament, and the Speaker's residence appended to them, are built. The marriage between Captain Viscount Deer burst, of the 2d Life Guards, eldest son of the Earl of Coventry, and Miss Cockerel], eldest daughter of Sir Charles Cockerell, Bart., M.P., one of the Commissioners of the Board of Control, is expected to be solemnized in the course of the present week at Sczincote-hall, in Gloueester" shire, the seat of Sir Charles. The Duke of Cumberland will, we understand , shortly resume his snug and very select Sattr. day dinner parties at Kew, where a very facetious learn e d K n ight, 3 delightfully convivial ex-whipper-in, and a Right Reverend Father-in-God are his constant guests.
